Official Christmas Stocking thread! 2011

[new_mommy25]

Update:
Finished my shopping! Just need to get some consumables but I'll get those closer to Christmas. I usually do things like an M&M candy cane and pocky. I also need to pick up socks but may skip them this year because I am having trouble finding anything I like and I'm tired of shopping. Socks and underwear are a tradition in the stocking for us. I've also always do books and a stuffed animal.

There might be other stuff that I can't remember buying. That always happens to me when I go to stuff the stockings.

i need to post so i don't go "overboard"---

last night i was at wegs and they had these for 3.99:
http://briarpatch.com/I-Spy-Wonder-Tubes.aspx

i bought 4-- 3 for nieces/nephew and one for my own kiddo. they fulfill the sparkly/fun rule of stockings and come in all the different rainbow colors (except i couldn't find yellow)

so far for lucy's stocking i have:
i spy wonder tube
ikea crank flashlight (it's RED...so that's perfect stocking fodder around here!: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30190857/ )

i always do a toothbrush and some type of chocolate santa....i'll probably put a clementine or orange in the toe and have some plushy thing peeking out (maybe a puppet (she's been pretty into the idea of handpuppets lately)

oh-- and i also saw these straws that flavor milk when you suck through them. i'll probably get lu one of those too...for the novelty

[kristac]

Ohh the spy tubes look cute. No wegs here though I will need to keep an eye out. They are $6.99 on amazon.
Like the crank flashlight idea as well.

DD (will be 5 just before Christmas) will get a few charms for her gap kids charm bracelet. She'll probably get some accessories for her 18 inch doll. I don't have anything else planned yet. Some things we do every year, like a piece of fruit in their stocking, some good chocolate, a few fun art supplies (wikki stix, play doh, etc.), hair accessories for DD, balsa wood airplanes as that's a family tradition from my own childhood).

DS1 (will be 7.5 at Christmas, almost 8) may get a book on CD (Jim Weiss stuff) and DD may get that as well. He'll probably get a small denomination B&N GC to use for his Nook or a real book. I need some ideas for him.

[new_mommy25]

The spy tubes look fun! They look similar to what my sister gave to DS and it's been a big hit so far. She is a librarian and said the kids at her library love them.

I've been picking up small goodies throughout the trip for our upcoming WDW trip. However, I will probably use several of those items as stocking stuffers too, since I probably got too many, lol.

-I've got xmas themed lego kits I got on clearance last yr at TRU that will be perfect for stocking stuffers, esp since we're doing legoland too.

-Star war pens.

-Books

-DS1 has been begging for another hex bug (they broke theirs), so I will probably get them each one as stocking stuffers.

I'm wondering if there will be a Christmas themed hex bug at Radio Shack.

I'm wondering if there will be a Christmas themed hex bug at Radio Shack.

I didn't even think about that. He wanted the one that looked like a spider (or crab) the last time we were at radio shack. I'm just reluctant, b/c they broke the ones DH got for them yrs ago in within a few days. They really suck at taking care of their toys.
